Jan 2013 workshop of new musical MY LAND'S SHORE: CD/download album on sale

An unashamed pre-Christmas plug! A great Christmas gift for anyone who loves new musical theatre - the Studio Cast recording of the new musical set during the Merthyr Rising of !831, MY LAND'S SHORE (by Christopher J. Orton & myself). The CD (which was released by SimG Records in February 2012) can be ordered here: http://www.mylandsshoremusical.com/and it can be purchased as a download from iTunes, amazon and/or Emusic (you can find links to the websites for downloads and listen to streams of 3 of the songs here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/mylandsshore/app_255087544583535 )

The single of the song AIR FOR A WISE CELTIC FOOL (which is not on the album) performed by the incredible Killian Donnelly is also available for download from amazon & Emusic.

Thanks, dgjbear - really glad you like the songs. Btw BURNING has changed a bit since we recorded it for the album. In the latest rewrite we made changes/improvements to the opening scene (which is inhabited essentially by that song), so (hopefully) it is now even better. I guess we'll find out in the workshop whether or not it works!

We will be making an official press release regarding casting etc soon & I'll post details on here.

STOP PRESS: The single of Killian Donnelly singing AIR FOR A WISE CELTIC fool (a song from My Land's Shore which is not on the album) is now available for download on iTunes for just 79p! Please check it out!

Thanks, jaqs. It has indeed been going incredibly well. Lots of rewrites done, taking the show to yet another level. And it's a genuine privilege working with all these lovely and amazingly talented performers. It is already sounding vocally awesome. Can't wait to see it all come together towards the end of next week. A lot of work to do, but it's already in great shape.

Sorry, Sean - hotel wifi has been down, so only just seen your post. The workshop was primarily for invited guests (potential investors, etc.) but some seats were made available last minute for general public - but I was cut off from the cyber world so could not let you know.

The performance was really stunning - we were blessed with a cast with such immense talent. Everyone seemed to love it - so now it's just cross fingers time and wait for the phone to ring!
